Less than 300 dead (with/by COVID-19), about 400 currently hospitalized and less than 100 of those needing ventilators here in Denmark. Last I heard, we had 1.000+ ventilators standing by.

We are well ahead of the curve, and some Corana specific hospital wards are actually closing down due to lack of patients. We will start opening up slowly beginning next week with schools, daycare etc. on Wednesday. Schools only for the 0-5th grade though and those who have to take their final exams this year. Unfortunately my kids are in 6th and 9th grade, and will have to stay home until May 10th. The HID works in daycare, so she will back to work starting Tuesday, making preparations for the influx of kids and setting up confined areas for smaller groups etc. Schools have to make sure 2m distance between students when in class rooms, which is quite a logistical problem, primarily in the smaller schools...

The number of people getting sick and maybe need medical assistance is expected to rise due to this. But so far there is no immediate pressure on the health system/hospitals. Should things go really bad, they will probably close down schools again.

I read an interesting comparison article in the Guardian this morning, best two responses 🇩🇰 and New Zealand both led by young woman, worst responses 🇧🇷 and 🇺🇸 run by old testosterone fueled men. Coincidence? I think not.

Looks like you have handled it far better than the uk

Or the US. We have geared up at the hospital I work at and are waiting for our first case. We are behind the rest of the nation so watching the other places hit the exponential curve is scary. Alaska has about 250 cases so far.

Hope it doesn't get your area like others, at least your president has the most followers on Facebook...

@Bored Man

I like the bike by the lake picture. It's set for a tour. After looking at your rides lately, you need some black electrical tape to cover up the "slow coach" on the top tube.

Just had a YouTube notification about the ineos ride, had a look and they seem to on a computerised volcano and the commentary mentioned power ups.

Gimme a shout when social distancing is over and I'll come fit you 1

What kind of units do you fit shim, and how much do they cost? The one that broke was a portable one with a hose going out a hole in my loft wall. I see there's portable units new for £300 but I guess they might not be great. My last one was a second hand portable one which did work but not nearly as well as a typical hotel one abroad.

I fit proper ones where you'd have a condensing unit outside.

Hmmm. Probably outside my budget and cost considerably more than a Tacx Neo. Highly effective no doubt though.

Gimme a shout nearer the time, could probably get a decent unit and materials sub 500

I'm still using a fan but I might relocate the one from my bedroom if lockdown continues to the height of summer or better idea that the Mrs won't like stick my bike in the bedroom

Thanks shim.

Thanks shim.

No worries, if Keith wants to fly me to Spain or France and put me up with food and beer for 2 weeks I'll fit 1 for him!

I had two fairly large fans directed at me for last night's ride but they were just blowing hot air. I might try relocating to the cabin but it is also quite swealtering in there in he summer.

What about a split heat pump in Sitka? Alaskan Amber and halibut fish and chips enough?
